[0098] The embodiments of the present application are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0099] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle transporter 100, which can be moved under a vehicle to be transported (hereinafter referred to as a vehicle) and move with the vehicle loaded to transport the vehicle to a preset area.
[0100] In one embodiment, the vehicle transporter 100 of the present application may be used in places including but not limited to smart parking lots, battery swap stations, and vehicle manufacturing centers.
[0101] The vehicle carrier 100 of the present application includes a first module 10, a second module 20 and a third module 30, wherein the third module 30 is connected to the first module 10 and the second module 20. At least one of the first module 10 and the second module 20 has a walking mechanism, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can walk and move.
[0102] The first module 10 includes a first substrate 11 , and the second module 20 includes a second substrate 21 . The first substrate 11 and the second substrate 21 are arranged along a first direction X.
[0103] The third module 30 has a first end 311 and a second end 321, which are arranged along the first direction X. The first end 311 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 with the second direction Y as the axis, and the second end 321 is rotatably connected to the second base 21 with the second direction Y as the axis.
[0104] The first direction X is the length direction of the vehicle carrier 100 , and the second direction Y is the width direction of the vehicle carrier 100 .
[0105] When the vehicle carrier 100 is moving, if the ground is uneven, the first base 11 and the second base 21 are rotatably connected by the third module 30, and the third module 30 can rotate relative to the first module 10 and / or relative to the second module 20, so that the vehicle carrier 100 forms a structure similar to two or three folds along the length direction, which is conducive to avoiding the risk of the first base 11 or the second base 21 touching the ground, improving the compatibility of the vehicle carrier 100 with complex terrain, and improving the passing performance of the vehicle carrier 100. At the same time, through the adaptive deformation of the overall shape of the vehicle carrier 100 to complex terrain, the ground clearance of the vehicle carrier 100 can be appropriately reduced under the premise of ensuring its load capacity, which is conducive to reducing the overall height of the vehicle carrier 100 and facilitating the vehicle carrier 100 to enter the bottom of the vehicle.
[0106] In order to ensure the load capacity of the vehicle transporter 100 and its adaptability to complex terrain, the existing vehicle transporter 100 is generally high. When transporting a vehicle, additional equipment is needed to raise the vehicle so that the vehicle transporter 100 can be moved under the vehicle chassis, which increases the difficulty and cost of moving the vehicle.
[0107] The vehicle transporter 100 of the present application can appropriately reduce the ground clearance of the vehicle transporter 100 while ensuring the load capacity through adaptive deformation to complex terrain, which is conducive to reducing the overall height of the vehicle transporter 100, so that the vehicle transporter 100 can enter the bottom of the vehicle without the help of other equipment to raise the vehicle, greatly reducing the requirements for the transport scene. In one embodiment, the vehicle transporter 100 of the present application can control its own height within 90 mm.
[0108] It should be noted that the structure of the vehicle carrier 100 of the present application does not have a strict front and back distinction, that is, when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X, the first module 10 may be in front and the second module 20 may be in the back, or the second module 20 may be in front and the first module 10 may be in the back. In the following, the description of front and back is only used to describe the front and back of the vehicle carrier 100 along the moving direction, and is not used to limit the positions of each module or structure.
[0109] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the third module 30 includes a first sub-base 31 and a second sub-base 32, and the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 are connected together to be movable along the first direction X. The first end 311 is located at the first sub-base 31, and the second end 321 is located at the second sub-base 32. The first sub-base 31 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 through the first end 311, and the second sub-base 32 is rotatably connected to the second base 21 through the second end 321. In this embodiment, by designing the third module 30 as two parts that can move relative to each other along the first direction X, the third module 30 forms a retractable structure. By adaptively adjusting its length along the first direction X, the distance between the first base 11 and the second base 21 can be adjusted, that is, the distance between the first module 10 and the second module 20 is adjusted, and the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms of the vehicle carrier 100 is adjusted, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can be applied to vehicles with different wheelbases, thereby improving the compatibility of the vehicle carrier 100 with vehicles with different wheelbases. On the other hand, the telescopic third module 30 is also helpful to reduce the total length of the vehicle carrier 100 along the first direction X, reduce the space occupied by the vehicle carrier 100, and improve the passing performance of the vehicle carrier 100.
[0110] In certain usage scenarios, when the vehicle transporter 100 is moved in an unloaded state, the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 can be synchronously adjusted to move relative to each other along the first direction X, thereby adjusting the vehicle transporter 100 to a wheelbase suitable for the vehicle to be transported, which is beneficial to reducing the transport cycle of the vehicle transporter 100 and improving the transport efficiency.
[0111] In some embodiments, the third module 30 further includes a guide rail 33 and a slider 34 connected to each other, one of the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 is disposed on the first sub-base 31, the other of the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 is disposed on the second sub-base 32, and the guide rail 33 is extended along the first direction X. In this embodiment, by disposing the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 on the third module 30, the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 are slidably connected, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of the extension and retraction of the third module 30.
[0112] In one embodiment, the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 can also be replaced by a guide sleeve and a guide column, which are sleeved with each other, one of which is disposed on the first sub-base 31, and the other of which is disposed on the second sub-base 32. It can be understood that the combination of the guide rail 33 and the slider 34 can be equivalently replaced by other linear motion pairs in the art, and this simple replacement falls within the protection scope of the present application.
[0113] In a possible embodiment, the third module 30 is not provided with a driving mechanism, and the mutual movement between the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 is a passive movement, that is, the third module 30 can be extended and deformed by the movement of one of the first module 10 and the second module 20, or by the differential movement of the first module 10 and the second module 20. This embodiment is conducive to reducing the number of accessories of the vehicle transporter 100, and thus is conducive to compressing the overall height of the vehicle transporter 100, so that the vehicle transporter 100 can enter the bottom of the vehicle without the help of other equipment to raise the vehicle, thereby reducing the requirements for the transport scene.
[0114] In a possible embodiment, the third module 30 is provided with a driving mechanism (not shown), the driving mechanism connects the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 to move relative to each other along the first direction X. By providing the driving mechanism to adjust the length of the third module 30 along the first direction X, it is possible to eliminate the need for a walking mechanism, which is conducive to simplifying the circuit system of the vehicle transporter 100.
[0115] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism includes but is not limited to any one of an electric push rod, a cylinder telescopic rod, and a motor-screw nut mechanism.
[0116] In one embodiment, along the third direction Z, the projection of the driving mechanism does not overlap with the projection of the first transmission mechanism 132 of the first clamping mechanism 13 in the first module 10, and the projection of the driving mechanism does not overlap with the projection of the second transmission mechanism 232 of the second clamping mechanism 23 in the second module 20. In this way, the driving mechanism in the third module 30 and the transmission mechanism in the first module 10 / the second module 20 do not overlap in the third direction Z, which is conducive to reducing the height of the vehicle carrier 100 and improving the passing performance of the vehicle carrier 100.
[0117] As an example, the third module 30 without a driving mechanism is taken as an example for further explanation.
[0118] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the first module 10 further includes a first running mechanism 12 connected to the first base 11, and the first running mechanism 12 is configured to drive the first module 10 to move. The second module 20 further includes a second running mechanism 22 connected to the second base 21, and the second running mechanism 22 is configured to drive the second module 20 to move. By the first running mechanism 12 and the second running mechanism 22 working simultaneously and in coordination, the vehicle carrier 100 can realize the forward and backward movement function, and can also realize the steering and lateral movement functions.
[0119] Further, along the first direction X, if one of the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22 works and the other does not work, or the moving speeds of the two are different, differential movement will occur between the first module 10 and the second module 20, thereby driving the first sub-base 31 and the second sub-base 32 to move relative to each other, the length of the third module 30 changes, and the distance between the first module 10 and the second module 20 changes, that is, the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms of the vehicle carrier 100 changes, so that the vehicle carrier 100 can adapt to vehicles with different wheelbases. If the length of the third module 30 is adjusted by the driving mechanism, the first walking mechanism 12 and / or the second walking mechanism 22 need to work to adapt to the length adjustment of the third module 30, otherwise it will cause the driving wheel of the first walking mechanism 12 or the second walking mechanism 22 to have hard friction with the ground, affecting its service life; in this embodiment, the third module 30 is not provided with a driving mechanism, and the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms is adjusted by the first walking mechanism 12 and / or the second walking mechanism 22 working to stretch or compress the length of the third module 30, which is conducive to reducing the impact on the service life of the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22.
[0120] In one embodiment, the vehicle carrier 100 can adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms in situ. At this time, one of the first traveling mechanism 12 and the second traveling mechanism 22 is in operation, and the other is inoperable.
[0121] In one embodiment, the vehicle transporter 100 can adjust the distance between the front and rear clamping mechanisms during movement. At this time, the first walking mechanism 12 and the second walking mechanism 22 work simultaneously, but the moving speeds of the two are different. This adjustment method can make the vehicle transporter 100 modulate to a suitable length before arriving under the vehicle, and start clamping the vehicle immediately after moving under the vehicle, which is beneficial to reducing the cycle of transporting vehicles by the vehicle transporter 100 and improving the transport efficiency.
[0122] In one embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 includes a first driving source 121 and a first driving wheel 122. The first driving source 121 is connected to the first base 11. The first driving source 121 is connected to the first driving wheel 122 and is used to drive the first driving wheel 122 to rotate. The first driving wheel 122 is rotatably connected to the first base 11. The first driving wheel 122 is used to support the first module 10 and carry the first module 10 to move.
[0123] In one embodiment, the first traveling mechanism 12 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 with the third direction Z as the axis. The first traveling mechanism 12 can adjust the angle of the first driving wheel 122 relative to the first base 11 by rotating relative to the first base 11, thereby adjusting the moving direction of the first traveling mechanism 12 and the moving direction of the vehicle carrier 100. The third direction Z is the height direction of the vehicle carrier 100, and is also the thickness direction of the vehicle carrier 100. In one embodiment, the first traveling mechanism 12 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 with the third direction Z as the axis through a slewing bearing (not shown).
[0124] Furthermore, the first walking mechanism 12 includes two first driving wheels 122, and the axes of the two first driving wheels 122 are parallel to each other, that is, the two driving wheels have the same angle relative to the first base 11, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the first driving wheels 122 on the ground and extend their service life during the movement of the vehicle carrier 100. In one embodiment, when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X or is about to move along the first direction X, the two first driving wheels 122 are arranged relatively along the second direction Y, and the axes of the two first driving wheels 122 overlap.
[0125] When the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X, the axis directions of the two first drive wheels 122 are parallel to the second direction Y; when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the second direction Y, the axis directions of the two first drive wheels 122 are parallel to the first direction X; when the vehicle carrier 100 turns to move, the axis directions of the two first drive wheels 122 are inclined to the first direction X and the second direction Y.
[0126] The first traveling mechanism 12 includes two first driving sources 121, one first driving source 121 is connected to a first driving wheel 122, and the other first driving source 121 is connected to the other first driving wheel 122. When the two first driving sources 121 are configured to rotate at the same speed, the first traveling mechanism 12 will move relatively statically with the first base 11. When the two first driving sources 121 are configured to rotate at different speeds, the first traveling mechanism 12 will rotate relative to the first base 11, which is beneficial for the vehicle carrier 100 to adjust the moving direction.
[0127] In one embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 further includes two first reduction boxes 123, and one first reduction box 123 is connected to one first driving wheel 122 and one first driving wheel 122 respectively. By providing the first reduction box 123, it is helpful to adjust the rotation rate of the first driving wheel 122, and improve its rotational torque, thereby increasing the carrying capacity of the vehicle carrier 100. It should be noted that the specific structure of the reduction box is a conventional setting in the art, and this application will not repeat it in detail.
[0128] In one embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 further includes a first part 1241 and a second part 1242, the first part 1241 is rotatably connected to the first base 11 with the third direction Z as the axis, the second part 1242 is rotatably connected to the first part 1241, and the axis direction of the second part 1242 relative to the first part 1241 is perpendicular to the axis direction of the two first driving wheels 122, and the first driving source 121 and the first driving wheels 122 are both arranged on the second part 1242. When the vehicle carrier 100 is walking on an uneven ground, the second part 1242 drives the two first driving wheels 122 to rotate relative to the first part 1241 and the first base 11, and the relative height of the two first driving wheels 122 can be adjusted, so that the two first driving wheels 122 can adaptively adjust their positions relative to the first base 11, so that they can touch the ground at the same time or at least one driving wheel can touch the ground, thereby reducing the risk of the two first driving wheels 122 idling at the same time, which is conducive to improving the compatibility of the vehicle carrier 100 with complex terrain and improving its passing performance.
[0129] In one embodiment, the first walking mechanism 12 further includes a first pin 125, which connects the first portion 1241 and the second portion 1242 so that the first portion 1241 and the second portion 1242 can rotate relative to each other.

The first elastic members 126 can provide elastic buffering along the third direction Z for the relative rotation between the first portion 1241 and the second portion 1242, thereby improving the relative rotation stability between the first portion 1241 and the second portion 1242. On the other hand, when the vehicle transporter 100 is loaded with a vehicle, the plurality of first elastic members 126 can be compressed and deformed at the same time to play a buffering role, thereby reducing the influence of the instantaneous pressure of the vehicle on the first travel mechanism 12.
[0131] In one embodiment, the first elastic member 126 is a compression spring and is arranged along the third direction Z (ie, vertical direction).

By providing the first support wheel 127 on the first module 10, when the vehicle carrier 100 is loaded with a vehicle, the first support wheel 127 can provide support for the first base 11 by touching the ground, which is beneficial to reducing the deformation of the first base 11, and can also share the pressure for the first driving wheel 122, reduce the wear of the first driving wheel 122, and extend its service life. On the other hand, when the vehicle carrier 100 travels on an uneven ground, the first module 10 may cause the two first driving wheels 122 to tilt, causing one of the first driving wheels 122 to fail to touch the ground, causing the other first driving wheel 122 to be subjected to greater pressure or causing the vehicle carrier 100 to fail to travel normally. By providing the first supporting wheel 127, the first supporting wheel 127 can keep touching the ground in such a complex situation and provide better support, thereby facilitating the compatibility of the vehicle carrier 100 with complex terrain, improving the passability of the vehicle carrier 100, reducing the wear of the first driving wheel 122, and extending the service life of the first driving wheel 122.
[0134] In one embodiment, when the vehicle carrier 100 is located on a flat ground and the vehicle carrier 100 is in an unloaded state, the first driving wheel 122 contacts the ground and the first supporting wheel 127 is suspended. By controlling the ground clearance of the first supporting wheel 127, the first supporting wheel 127 can contact the ground when the vehicle carrier 100 is loaded with a vehicle and walking on a flat ground. The first supporting wheel 127 can provide support for the first base 11 by contacting the ground, which is beneficial to reducing the deformation of the first base 11, and can also share the pressure for the first driving wheel 122, reduce the wear of the first driving wheel 122, and extend its service life. On the other hand, when the vehicle transporter 100 is in a state of carrying a vehicle and walking on an uneven ground, the first module 10 may cause the two first driving wheels 122 to tilt, causing one of the first driving wheels 122 to fail to touch the ground, causing the other first driving wheel 122 to be subjected to greater pressure or causing the vehicle transporter 100 to fail to walk normally.

[0142] In one embodiment, the second traveling mechanism 22 is rotatably connected to the second base 21 with the third direction Z as the axis. The second traveling mechanism 22 can adjust the angle of the second driving wheel 222 relative to the second base 21 by rotating relative to the second base 21, thereby adjusting the moving direction of the second traveling mechanism 22 and the moving direction of the vehicle carrier 100.

In one embodiment, when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X or is about to move along the first direction X, the two second driving wheels 222 are relatively arranged along the second direction Y, and the axes of the two second driving wheels 222 overlap.
[0144] When the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the first direction X, the axis directions of the two second drive wheels 222 are parallel to the second direction Y; when the vehicle carrier 100 moves along the second direction Y, the axis directions of the two second drive wheels 222 are parallel to the first direction X; when the vehicle carrier 100 turns to move, the axis directions of the two second drive wheels 222 are inclined to the first direction X and the second direction Y.

When the two second driving sources 221 are configured with the same rotation speed, the second traveling mechanism 22 will move relatively statically with the second base 21. When the two second driving sources 221 are configured with different rotation speeds, the second traveling mechanism 22 will rotate relative to the second base 21, which is beneficial for the vehicle carrier 100 to adjust the moving direction.

The axis direction of the second pin 225 is perpendicular to the axis direction of the two second driving wheels 222.
[0149] In one embodiment, the second traveling mechanism 22 further includes a plurality of second elastic members 226, which are connected to the third portion 2241 and the fourth portion 2242. The second elastic members 226 can provide elastic buffering along the third direction Z for the relative rotation between the third portion 2241 and the fourth portion 2242, thereby improving the relative rotation stability between the third portion 2241 and the fourth portion 2242. On the other hand, when the vehicle transporter 100 is loaded with a vehicle, the plurality of second elastic members 226 can be compressed and deformed at the same time to play a buffering role, thereby reducing the influence of the instantaneous pressure of the vehicle on the second traveling mechanism 22.

At this time, the first clamping arms 133 are in a retracted state, which is beneficial to reduce the influence of the first clamping arms 133 on the width of the vehicle carrier 100 in an empty state and improve the passing performance of the vehicle carrier 100. Optionally, when the two first clamping arms 133 are in the first state, the angle between the two first clamping arms 133 is 180°.
